About the game
About the game
Pétanque is a popular French boules game where players throw hollow metal balls (boules) from a standing position inside a circle, aiming to land them as close as possible to a small wooden target ball (cochonnet or "jack"). Played on hard dirt or gravel, it is a game of strategy where teams (1-3 players) score by having their boules closer to the jack than the opponent after all balls are thrown, usually to 13 points.
